Can chronic itching be caused by Neuropathy

Hi Rosebud,
I never thought of my itchy scalp as having anything to do with my idiopathic neuropathy, until I read your comment! After a visit with the grandchildren, over Christmas, I was blaming them for what I thought was nits!!
No evidence whatsoever! My itch begins at the hairline at the back of my head, but often extends to all over my scalp- no dry skin, no sores, no change in shampoo- more annoying than anything else. I have not even mentioned this to doctor. I try to just not start the scratching!
My major 'infliction' from the neuropathy is my rapidly deteriorating loss of balance - which I am currently combating with a very simple set of exercises to work on 3 times a day, re-establishing my proprioceptors- only in week 1, but very hopeful!
Sorry, I cannot offer any solutions!

Thanks for the reply.
Yes mine started in exactly the same spot as yours at the back and now progressed to all over.
Good luck with your neuropathy exercises.

I also have been having itchy scalp issues for awhile now.
No change in shampoo,etc.
Itching starts at back of my head at hairline, and also in middle of my head in back.
Also my balance is awful, walk with walker or cane most of time.
